Well the 318ti doesn't have an oil temperature gauge. If you're talking about the coolant temperature gauge, it's supposed to rise and stay at the 12 o'clock position. If yours drops or doesn't reach the 12 o'clock position, you more than likely have a faulty thermostat. If you replace the thermostat, MAKE SURE to properly bleed the cooling system. There's a writeup on how to properly bleed your cooling system located in the knowledge base section of the forum.
